The thing is, we are aware of the difference between good and evil.
At the time of the Great Deluge, humanity was mostly polytheistic. They didn't even acknowledge God because their foolish ancestors had forsaken him.
That's why God wiped out most life on Earth. He wanted to start anew. However, humanity kept going down the path of Satan. That's when He sent down Jesus to literally say, "Listen idiots, stop worshipping evil!"
Moses was actually the first time God showed these sentiments, with the 10 Commandments. He literally spelled out EXACTLY what NOT to do, to stay on path of righteousness. Moses was so annoyed with the Tribe of Dan (golden calf worshippers) that, once he came down from the Mt. Sinai (the Great Pyramid), he furiously smashed the Tablets of the Law, and ordered the Hebrews to melt the calf down into the Ark of the Covenant (which they used to store the broken tablets).
I believe God would've given those poor souls another chance after Jesus' sacrifice. It only seems just.
Also, wouldn't they have been stuck in Purgatory? Heaven was sealed off, but Hell is reserved for truly wicked individuals.
It could be they were truly lost. I imagine we'll find out at some point. But I do agree that God is just, most certainly.
There are varying views on this aspect of things, they may have a second chance, but I wouldn't bet on it for us.

Well, they were all bad enough that God wanted to 'nuke them from orbit', except to save Noah and crew. I'm not betting they get additional chances.
